The drawings of Selena Vickovic primarily demonstrate the opening of boxes, women's suitcases with Harlequins and dolls, pieces of intimate mobiliars and phantom gowns and mantles peeping out from the drawers. They show developing plans of the "representative box" of a painting, cadres discovering secret life of new infantile subjects. Sometimes mute, anaesthetized or decapitated women's figures are particular toys trying to find their inhabitation within the picture plane. They stretch and pose when caught and interrupted in the ritual games of violence, they flaunt their fresh wounds and pronounced sensuality, pleading loudly for their ephemeral existence. Time of framing and fixing hidden intentions of games and unrealized (inhibited) wishes corresponds with the incision rhythms of the painting’s tissue, of the very incarnate from which there emerge fissures of undesirable memories or bleeding wounds.

An incarnate, as an asylum closed up by an image, serves as a motive for the artist's witty interpretations of a body as an unique entity of universal (male) subject and parody of painting exegeses. Ephemeral female statements do not show anything but the very existence of a woman and a carnal presence - pulp of fruit, swallowing, sensuality, agony of absence of a beloved - which are in the limelight of new painting exegeses. Red and White incarnate life of New Venus or emblematize the fairy tale of Snow White, the modern icon of the aesthetics of cruel, chaotic, romantic and passionate.
